My apartment complex's management has had mixed results with their decorative foliage arrangements. Hey, I know first hand how hard it is
to grow plants in this joint: I'm on the North side of a 3-story building (virtually no direct sunlight)! As you no doubt deduced from this post's title, in the midst of
our current rainstorm they installed fake grass, fake palms, and fake cyclamen. While the palms and cyclamen are somewhat convincing, the fake grass just looks like turf, and throws realism out the door for the whole installation.
So what's the deal with fake plants anyway? To me, whatever aesthetic value one might stand to gain in the presence of foliage dies with the realization of the farce. Fake boobs are one thing (I also don't understand those), but fake plants are more like Realdolls than implants. Whatever.
